Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

If I put my nose 15cm of my monitor, I can figure out a bit more about the
icon: it seems to be comprised of a kind of antenna with a number (1? 2?) of
rings that maybe indicate the strength of the signal (?), the number "100"
overlaid on it in a corner, and a 5-pixel wide green tick. There are two
problems here: (1) the antenna, rings and number are white, and the background
of the systray is light gray, so the contrast is terrible (using the default
settings, I didn't change any color). (2) There is too much information packed
in a small space (antenna, number, green tick). Besides I don't know what the
number is supposed to mean, as my signal quality, according to iwconfig, is 94
and not 100. This ought to be compared with the gnome nm-applet, that displays
a clear, high-contrast, low-detail "bar graph" of the connection strength, when
the connection is active, and an icon that clearly indicates that there is no
connection otherwise.
